Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Young Master!””Jiang Yi!””Marshal!””Little Brother!”

Feng Luan, Zhan Wushuang, Yun Fei, and Big Sister Bell had all been called over by Qian Wanguan’s men, and they were all revealing delighted expressions. The Situ Courtyard might have absolute safety, luxurious delicacies, and wine. They could ask for anything, and the Situ Clan provided it immediately. However, the days without Jiang Yi made everyone feel as though they were lacking something, and life had become boring.

“Everyone can take a seat. I have returned secretly, and I have some things to tell all of you.”

Jiang Yi had the utmost trust for these people, and he didn’t have any intention to hide anything from them. After all, this journey was too treacherous, and he might just perish in the East Imperial Continent. This farewell might be for eternity.

He had narrated everything about the Endless Deep Sea, and the matter that involved the Demon Empress and Xiao Fei. However, he had concealed two of the tasks that Ao Lu requested of him as there was no use for them to know about these two matters. One of them was the task which involved Qianqian’s pitiful history which he didn’t want to say too much. He simply said that he had comprehended the powerful Mirage Divine Ability and had decided to enter the East Imperial Continent to rescue Su Ruoxue and search for Yi Piaopiao.

“Young Master, I will go with you!”

At almost the same timing, Feng Luan and Qing Yu spoke out without hesitation. Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei looked at each other and remained silent, but their eyes were filled with concern. Big Sister Bell’s beautiful eyes had surged with a trace of worry.

“There is no room for discussion for this matter!”

Jiang Yi looked at Feng Luan and Qing Yu while he spoke with an abnormal resolution, “The two of you have two choices. I can either bring you back to the Phoenix Cry Continent, or you can wait here for my return.”

Seeing Jiang Yi’s expression, the duo’s eyes were coated with a layer of mist as they didn’t say anything else.

The two of them stayed silent for a moment, and Feng Luan finally spoke, “We will wait here for Young Master’s return. We will not return to the Phoenix Cry Continent. We will wait for Young Master’s triumphant returns before bringing us back grandly and impressively.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi reached out to grab both of them. He didn’t give any promises as he clearly knew that the duo didn’t want to return now because they were thinking of his safety. The Phoenix Cry Continent was definitely filled with the Nine Thearchs Clans’ spies, and they would be immediately captured upon return. Since their clans still had the soul spirit dao pattern shards while there must have been another Thearch that was crowned, there was no meaning for them to return as well.

“Boss, I…”

Qian Wanguan wanted to say something but ultimately didn’t. He knew that he would only be a burden to Jiang Yi if he went to the East Imperial Continent as well. What he needed to do was to continue operating the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association and to provide Jiang Yi the support when needed.

“Alright, it shall be decided. I will rest for three days before departing. My whereabouts must not be divulged. Wanguan, do not even tell Yinian!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and made his final decision. Qian Wanguan also understood the severity of the situation as he didn’t intend to tell Situ Yinian. It wasn’t because he couldn’t trust her, but the lesser the people that knew about this, the safer Jiang Yi would be.

Afterward, Qian Wanguan explained to Jiang Yi about the situation of the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association and the Gods Bestow Tribe. The tribe was very peaceful, and with Ao Lu around, no one dared to touch them. The Situ Clan was developing rapidly, but Situ Ao understood that the logic of an outstanding tree would be blown over by the wind easily. Hence, he was developed stably and slowly expanding as they didn’t do it with a high profile.

The Soaring Dragon Merchant Association was developing well while the Situ Clan had worked together with the other clans to build a covert group specialized in clearing the spies from the East Imperial Continent, and it had been very effective.

At the same time, the Situ Clan had secretly dispatched their secret forces to control a small continent which was northeast to the East Imperial Continent, and they had started to nurture one of the clans, making it stronger. They were going to make use of this clan as a springboard to slowly infiltrate the East Imperial Continent and gradually strengthen. Qian Wanguan was prepared to spend five years or even ten years to control one of the regions on the East Imperial Continent. He was going to strengthen this region and slowly consume the rest of the East Imperial Continent.

The plan was meticulous, and the ideal was great.

It didn’t matter if it could be achieved, Qian Wanguan was going to spend his entire life to work diligently and strive.

Jiang Yi didn’t understand all these things, but Qian Wanguan was very matured when accomplishing things. He didn’t require Jiang Yi’s guidance; neither could Jiang Yi guide him in many areas, too. Jiang Yi simply patted on Qian Wanguan’s shoulder and told Qian Wanguan that he would be Qian Wanguan’s strong backer forever and asked for Qian Wanguan to do as he wished. If the sky was going to collapse, they would hold it up together.

“Jiang Yi, I have something I wish to speak with you!”

Zhan Wushuang suddenly spoke when he saw that Jiang Yi had finished talking with Qian Wanguan. Jiang Yi looked at Zhan Wushuang with a bewildered expression as everyone here was like family, and there was nothing that couldn’t be said here, right?

Since Zhan Wushuang proposed, Jiang Yi nodded and walked into a room and activated the restriction. Zhan Wushuang got right to the point and said, “Jiang Yi, I wish to go with you to the East Imperial Continent.

“Jiang Yi, don’t be in a rush and listen to me first!”

Seeing that Jiang Yi was going to reject him, Zhan Wushuang spoke in a hurry, “I am not trying to throw my life away by going to the East Imperial Continent, and I am not a child anymore and wouldn’t act rashly or foolishly. I want to go because of my father’s wish. It can also be said to be our race’s wish!”

“En?”

Jiang Yi frowned and asked seriously, “What is the situation? Tell me about it.”

Zhan Wushuang paused and explained, “In fact, our race isn’t born and bred on Stellarsky Continent. Our clan’s founder had departed from the East Imperial Continent tens of thousands of years again and came to Stellarsky Continent by himself. He didn’t say which clan was he from, but he left his last words before his death. He said if our clan has any descendants which awakened the bloodlines of the Battle God, they could go search for the origin clan on East Imperial Continent and return to the origin clan. He had also left a token.

“The Zhan Clan had plenty of descendants who had awakened the Battle God’s bloodlines, but none had the strength to return to East Imperial Continent, apart from me. Before I left, my father asked me to make a trip to the East Imperial Continent when I have the opportunity to search for our origin clan and to reunite with the clan.”

“Zhan Clan?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with suspicion as he looked at Zhan Wushuang. “Your origin clan wouldn’t be the Nine Thearchs Clans’ Zhan Clan, right?”

“It shouldn’t be. Our Battle God Race’s cultivation technique is different from the East Imperial Nine Thearchs’ Zhan Clan. Since the East Imperial Clan is so massive, there must be more than one Zhan Clan…”

Zhan Wushuang shook his head and continued. “So, I must return to the East Imperial Continent. With the token left behind by the ancestor, it can guide me to find our origin clan.”

Jiang Yi stayed silent. This matter was related to Zhan Wushuang’s origin clan, and he couldn’t just say no. Getting acknowledged and returning to the clan was a wish for all the descendants of the Zhan Clan, right? Jiang Yi must not obstruct Zhan Wushuang in this matter and should think of a way to help him instead.

After pondering for a long period of time, Jiang Yi spoke, “You still cannot follow me. I will not stop you if you want to go to the East Imperial Continent, but you cannot follow me. Brother Wushuang, continue to cultivate and strengthen yourself in the Gods Bestow City first. When my identity is exposed on the East Imperial Continent, the Nine Thearchs Clan would surely not be paying attention to all of you. When that happens, get Wanguan to secretly send you to the East Imperial Continent. During this period of time, you can also get Wanguan to investigate the information on your origin clan.”

“Exposed identity?”

Zhan Wushuang had a concerned expression. If Jiang Yi’s identity had been exposed, the Nine Thearchs Clans’ attention would indeed be attracted by Jiang Yi, making it much safer for Zhan Wushuang to venture the East Imperial Continent. Once Jiang Yi’s identity had been exposed, would Jiang Yi be able to survive? Zhan Wushuang quickly asked, “Jiang Yi, don’t you have the Mirage Divine Ability? Why would you expose your identity? If it because of me, you don’t need to…”

“It is not because of you!”

Jiang Yi patted on Zhan Wushuang’s shoulder and stood up to say, “I have too many tasks to do on the East Imperial Continent… like rescuing Su Ruoxue. There would definitely be a battle, right? Once I get involved in a battle, my identity will surely be exposed. Don’t worry. I have the Heaven Evasion and Mirage Divine Ability. Even if I am exposed, unless the Nine Thearchs make the move personally… no one can kill me! When I turn the entire East Imperial Continent upside down, you can make your move.”

“En!”

Looking at Jiang Yi’s confident expression and his bold words, Zhan Wushuang couldn’t help but feel his blood boiling.

However, Zhan Wushuang’s eyes quickly dimmed as he muttered in his heart, “I wonder if I, Zhan Wushuang, would have the day when I can overturn the entire East Imperial Continent? If there is a day like that, I can die without regrets…”
